Casteau's _Ouverture de Cuisine_ (published 1604 but dealing with
period recipes) mentions sculptures of butter.  No description
of how they were made.

"There were four parks of two feet square, surrounded by a hedge
of butter.

The first was Adam and Eve made of butter, a serpent on the
tree, and a running spring, with small animals around the
butter."
